Brooks, Alberta🇨🇦:
Population= 18,000 (⬆️+15% since 2020, under UCP govt)
Has 2nd largest beef-processing plant in 🇨🇦: most workers (70%) are immigrants (guess WHY)
UCP govt paid for ads across Canada inviting people to move to AB for jobs. It now blames immigration.
Here is what those blaming immigrants who work in Brooks, Alberta ignore:
Wage markdowns to drive up profits so that only immigrants would want to work in the meat processing industry.
The same UCP govt that encourages this now blames immigration. yorku.ca/euc/news-story/the-…

In Canada, severe maternal morbidity occurred in 47.8 out of 1,000 live births for Black moms vs. 27.7 out of 1,000 live births for a white moms. cbc.ca/news/health/black-mat…
What a sight to behold: students in one of the wealthiest countries in the world protesting poor education! They always have money for unnecessary wars, but not for education.
Students across France are protesting poor classroom conditions, staff shortages and a below-inflation education budget increase, with tens of thousands joining nationwide demonstrations reut.rs/47CtPyI
Some countries in that part of the pond have done the similar or worse things: killed UN staff, hijacked or bombed ships in the sea, are repressive, ruled by war criminals or unelected autocrats, and have prevented food and medicine from reaching sick kids.
Informative research. My on-going study has different findings:
There is significant impact of students' immigration background. On average, first and to a large extent, second gen immigrant students in Canada and the USA perform better than peers from non-immigrant families.
Children from immigrant backgrounds have almost the same early learning and development scores as their peers, after accounting for socio-economic status & language spoken at home.

🇰🇪 President @WilliamsRuto pretended to be a pan-Africanist. Now, he is telling Kenyans that they are suffering because of unfair competition from Africans from outside Kenya who are doing small scale businesses in Kenya. The result, xenophobia brewing right before our eyes.
President Biden instituted DEI in government services. Trump reversed Biden's policy.
Based on one study, Kaufmann uses Trump's reasoning to condemn DEI as discrimination against white men. He cites Jason Arday as proof of what's wrong with DEI.
It is all nonsensical escapism.
It costs Canada millions to discriminate against white male academics, writes Eric Kaufmann.
The groups who benefit from diversity-based recruitment in the Canada Research Chairs program have the lowest research impact nationalpost.com/opinion/eri…
Someone is trying hard to justify the slaughter of innocent civilians, including thousands of children.
Opinion: The problem with refusing to reason through the awfulness of civilian deaths is that it can lead to a spurious moral equivalence

🇬🇧 Prof. Jason Arday:
He was non-verbal until age 11;
could not read or write until age 18;
became the youngest Black professor at Cambridge.
University of Liverpool said his PhD dissertation was not plagiarized.
Still, they hounded him to his death.

I wonder what actions were taken after this last year's report that hair products sold to Black women causes cancer.
